This Ericson 32 II has only been freshwater sailed.
She spent most of her time on Lake Michigan on a mooring in Chicago, racing and cruising the Great Lakes.
The last 10 years she has sailed out of Perry Yacht Club while being updated and upgraded.
With her rich teak and long lines she gets complements each time on the water. From the large wheel she is easy to single hand, points very well to wind with great speed and is powerful when reaching while providing a comfortable platform for entertaining.
The Four cylinder gas A4 inboard works great. It starts quickly and runs smoothly - even at very low idle.
Accommodations:
The forward v berth is long and large with a solid door separating the plumbed head.
The salon table converts to a double bed with ample storage beneath.
The L shaped galley is to starboard with a 2 burner denatured alcohol stove forward that sits next to large counter-top with deep icebox and stainless steel sink.
A third Propane burner is gimbaled for additional cooking space.
The Quarter-berth lays to port behind a small nav station.
The cabin is well lighted and ventilated.
A window unit air conditioner is included and fits perfectly in the cockpit hatch.
